‘This is Dan. He just valued our flat,’ Lorna Hayward captioned a Facebook photo of him along with her two daughters Elsie and Marnie.

‘I had warned him, that arriving in my only available slot of the day at 5pm was risky. Nevertheless he rocked up.

‘In the last hour Dan (who is a complete stranger) has had both my daughters request cuddles, can he hold their hands, if he would watch Peppa with them, does he like cheese, if he was staying the night and the finale – Elsie walking out of the toilet announcing she had just done “her biggest poo yet – it was a bit spikey though, so please can you wipe my bum”.

‘Poor Dan. Poor poor Dan. Gonna just pour meself a pint of wine.’

Her post was shared thousands of the times after appearing on the Motherload, sparking the hashtag #FindDan.

The search was successful, with Purple Bricks estate agents coming forward to say it was their employee Dan Stevenson who had visited the flat in Wandsworth.

Describing the post as ‘amazing and hilarious’, they added: ‘Good on you Dan!’

Lorna told Motherload she phoned Dan to talk about what happened, telling him ‘You managed to cope pretty well with my girls infatuation with you’.

She said: ‘Dan seemed rather unfazed and told me that he had an email from the CEO of Purple Bricks last night saying how he had seen a post and photo about Dan on a mum site.

‘Dan seemed pretty chuffed at that. I also felt it was only right, and fair to the dedicated fans of Dan, to ask if he was single. The answer is YES. Soz Dan, I think you’re about to get a LOT of attention.’
